Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 51 to 60.
At 7 p.m on a dark, cold November evening, thousands of people are making their way across a vast car park. They're not here to see a film, or the ballet, or
even the circus. They are all here for what is, bizarrely, a global phenomenon: they are here to see Holiday on Ice. Given that most people don't seem to be
acquainted with anyone who's ever been, the show's statistics are extraordinary: nearly 300 million people have seen Holiday on Ice since it began in 1943; it is the
most popular live entertainment in the world.

But what does the production involve? And why are so many people prepared to spend their lives travelling
round Europe in caravans in order to appear in it? It can't be glamorous, and it's undoubtedly hard work. The
backstage atmosphere is an odd mix of gym class and workplace. A curtained-off section at the back of the arena
is laughably referred to as the girls' dressing room, but is more accurately described as a corridor, with beige,
cracked walls and cheap temporary tables set up along the length of it. Each girl has a small area littered with pots
of orange make-up, tubes of mascara and long false eyelashes.
As a place to work, it must rank pretty low down the scale: the area round the ice-rink is grey and mucky with rows of dirty blue and brown plastic
seating and red carpet tiles. It's an unimpressive picture, but the show itself is an unquestionably vast, polished global enterprise: the lights come from a firm in Texas,
the people who make the audio system are in California, but Montreal supplies the smoke effects; former British Olympic skater Robin Cousins is now creative director
for the company and conducts a vast master class to make sure they're ready for the show's next performance.

The next day, as the music blares out from the sound system, the cast start to go through their routines under
Cousins' direction. Cousins says, The aim is to make sure they're all still getting to exactly the right place on the
ice at the right time - largely because the banks of lights in the ceiling are set to those places, and if the skaters are
all half a metre out they'll be illuminating empty ice. Our challenge,' he continues, 'is to produce something they

can sell in a number of countries at the same time. My theory is that you take those things that people want to see
and you give it to them, but not in the way they expect to see it. You try to twist it. And you have to find music
that is challenging to the skaters, because they have to do it every night.'
It may be a job which he took to pay the rent, but you can't doubt his enthusiasm. 'The only place you'll see
certain skating moves is an ice show,' he says, 'because you're not allowed to do them in competition. It's not in the rules. So the
ice show world has things to offer which the competitive world just doesn't. 'Cousins knows what he's talking about because he skated for the show himself when he
stopped competing - he was financially unable to retire. He learnt the hard way that you can't put on an Olympic performance every night. 'I'd be thinking, these
people have paid their money, now do your stuff, and I suddenly thought, "I really can't cope. I'm not enjoying it".' The solution, he realised, was to give 75 per cent
every night, rather than striving for the sort of twice-a-year excellence which won him medals.

To be honest, for those of us whose only experience of ice-skating is watching top-class Olympic skaters, some
of the movements can look a bit amateurish, but then, who are we to judge? Equally, it's impossible not to be
swept up in the whole thing; well, you'd have to try pretty hard not to enjoy it.

______.
A. people often prefer other types of show
B. people prefer to see a film, the ballet, or the circus
C. most people consider it as a holiday

A. Holiday on Ice has rather poor working condition
B. Holiday on Ice has a very dirty place to work

II. Topic: What would you like to change about your hometown?
If I could change one important thing about my hometown, it would be air pollution problem, and I will
give the following reasons to explain why I want to solve the problem.
The first and most important reason is that I hope that my hometown can become a beautiful city. As an
old industrial city, my hometown has made a great deal of contribution for the country’s economic development.
At a result, the natural environment of the city has been badly damaged. The forest has disappeared; the
mountains have become bald, and the most awful thing is that the air quality becomes worse and worse. People
seldom see the blue sky during most time of year.
Another reason why I want to change my hometown’s air pollution situation is that the city’s development
needs clean and tidy environment to attract investors. Nowadays people have come to know that the city’s
environment, which is so called “software facility of the city”, plays an important role in the city’s future. For
example, due to the fact that the environment of the city is very poor, many local students who pursue their study
out of the city would rather find themselves a job in other cities than coming back to their hometown after they
graduated.
In addition, nowadays people have paid more and more attention to their health. If air pollution problem
cannot be solved as quickly as possible, people’s requirement for a healthy body will never be realized.
In my mind, changing air pollution will apparently be my first choice if I can change one important thing
about my hometown. Fortunately people in my hometown are gradually aware of the serious problem.
